So many times I see children being labeled as “difficult” or “defiant” when what they truly need is support, safety, and understanding. 💚

But beneath these behaviors are often an overwhelmed child who doesn’t yet have the tools to communicate what they’re feeling.✨

But what do you think happens when we start to support them from a place of connection and co-regulation? 👀

Your child isn’t giving you a hard time.
They’re HAVING a hard time, mama.

Honestly, your child’s body may be carrying more stress than they know how to express. They may not have the proper words to express when they’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsafe.

Trauma-informed yoga, mindfulness, creative expression, and co-regulation matters more than we credit. 💚

When we support the nervous system first, your child can begin to feel:
✨ safer
✨ calmer
✨ more connected
✨ emotionally aware
✨ and supported instead of punished

Be sure to save this post for the hard days and share it with a parent who may need this reminder today. 🫶🏽

First week’s topic:
✨ From Survival Mode to Regulation ✨

We’re going to talk about what survival mode actually looks like in everyday life, how stress and trauma impact the nervous system, learn gentle regulation and body awareness practices, and learn how to create safety within ourselves again 💚

*Whew*

It’s a lot to cover during our first meeting. You can expect a gentle yoga flow, group conversations, integration, and optional reflection. 🫶🏽

I can’t wait to welcome you into the Zen Collective Support Group this summer. You know where to find the link ✨

The world is not gonna be gentle and kind to my baby, so I want to give him grace, however, I still have to teach him accountability and about cause and effect. I have to teach him that his decisions will have consequences.

I’m mindful of his natural responses and I don’t want him to shut down or feel shameful.

Therefore, we typically try different approaches TOGETHER. 🤞🏽

These books have been great support in teaching my kids about ADHD.

1. The Boy with the Faster Brain by Peter Shankman

2. ADHD Kids 12 Success Stories: Stories of Kids with ADHD Who Found What Works, Including Easy Activities and Strategies for Ages 7–11 by Richard Bass

3. What Were You Thinking: Helping Kids 6-9 Learn to Control Impulses by Bryan Smith

Don’t take my word for it, come see for yourself. It’s a feeling that’s indescribably but I’m gonna try my best…

You know that feeling you get when a certain song hits your spirit and you keep repeating that same song over and over aging?…

You know that “aha” moment during a talk therapy session , the feeling like it’s all starting to just click?…

That feeling you get when a baby starts laughing for the first time?…

Now, imagine all of those feelings wrapped up in a bow, and given to you on your birthday…

Yea, it’s like that. *deep breath*

It’s a healing experience like no other. Perfect for stress relief, emotional awareness, combating overwhelm, self-awareness, and, releasing stored trauma, and regaining self-trust.

Somatic yoga is a slow, body-based practice that pairs traditional yoga with your own insight of how you experience movement, sensation, and awareness.

Let me know when you’re ready to go deep. ✨

From the moment I first held you in my arms, I knew you were special. The way we connected while you were in the womb was incredible, I cherished every moment of it.

You are the neutral light that keeps everyone in check; you’ve brought balance into our world, and your level of confidence in a baby is astonishing. You’re funny, easy-going, and cuddly ☺️

Thank you for gracing us and thank you for choosing me to be your mama 💜

Happy 1st Solar Return, Teddy Bear 🧸

Picture it. Circa 2013. We were kids.

Initially, I didn’t like you; You were the jerk who stole my tables. But, you had a sense of audacity that I admired. I gravitated towards you and somehow, I knew I was gonna have your babies 😅

Now look at us… 13 years down. Happy Anniversary, Papa Bear 😘🥂

My mini me! You are my little piece of strength, walking around like you own the place! My baby genius and goof ball wrapped up in one. You’ve brought so much joy to our lives, Phoenix and we couldn’t be more proud.

Each year that passes, you’ve shown a level of resilience, strength, and bravery that surpasses the previous year.

You’re intuitive. You’re bright. You’re confident. You’re emotionally intelligent and I’m so happy you’ve chosen me to be your mama.

Happy 6th birthday, Gummy Bear 🐻‍❄️

The first children’s yoga class that I’ve ever taught was an experience that I’ve never felt before. I barely had the words to describe how fulfilled I was after teaching.

I just knew. I felt the butterflies moving around excitedly in my belly. My mind was confused because I was so overjoyed… that feeling wasn’t always attainable prior to teaching. It was something I had to get used to.

Honestly, I’m still not used to that sense of fulfillment. I’m living the dream and I’m just waiting for someone to wake me up.

All I’m saying is, I’m blessed. 🫶🏽💚✨🙏🏽
